BMW 4 Series Convertible problems with misfiring for some time now

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my BMW 4 Series (built in 2017, gasoline engine). For some time now, it has been showing the following symptoms: black smoke from the exhaust when accelerating, check engine light on, loss of power, unsteady engine, jerking when accelerating, starting problems, high fuel consumption, stalling at idle and shaking at idle. I suspect it could be due to defective ignition coils or misfiring. Has anyone had similar experiences? How did the workshop fix this? I would appreciate any tips and your experiences. Thank you!

An E92 N53. It is always cylinder 6, which is often found on the net. The pump has not been conspicuous so far.

Hello, My first guess would have been the injectors, but as these have already been replaced, they are out of the question. I assume that the old injectors have been replaced with injectors with the "Index 12"? What about the spark plugs and ignition coils? Were these also replaced at the same time as the injectors? Of course, there could also be a mechanical problem with the engine itself in the direction of the valve train.

It could be a variety of issues causing your car to run rough when cold. It could be a problem with the fuel system, such as a faulty fuel pump or fuel injectors. It could also be a problem with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils. Another possibility is a problem with the engine itself, such as a worn camshaft or timing chain. I would recommend starting with the easiest checks first, such as checking the condition of your spark plugs and ignition coils. If these checks do not reveal the problem, it may be best to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle.

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that the issue could be related to the ignition coils or spark plugs. If these components are faulty, they can cause the engine to misfire, which can lead to rough running, especially when the engine is cold. I would recommend checking these components first. If they appear to be in good condition, then it might be worth investigating the fuel system or the engine control unit as potential sources of the problem.

CarlyMechanic: It sounds like you're still having issues even after replacing the spark plugs. The problem could be with the ignition coils, fuel injectors, or even a sensor. I would recommend checking the ignition coils next, as they can often cause misfires if they're not working properly. If the problem persists, it may be best to have a mechanic inspect your vehicle.

Ka will change the coils, but which sensor do you mean?

There are several sensors that could potentially cause these issues if they're faulty, including the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Oxygen (O2) sensors, or the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). However, I'd recommend starting with the ignition coils first, as they're a common cause of such problems. If replacing the coils doesn't resolve the issue, then it might be worth having these sensors checked.

If you're still getting misfire codes after replacing the spark plugs and coil packs, it could be a fuel delivery issue. You might want to check the fuel injectors and the fuel pressure. If these are fine, it could be a compression issue in the cylinders. In this case, it would be best to have a mechanic perform a compression test.
